ITB - Hydraulic Lift Replacement, Maintenance and Related Items for Harris County Precinct 2

Harris County Precinct 2 is seeking bids for a hydraulic lift replacement, maintenance, and related items contract for a one-year term beginning approximately December 1, 2025, with potential for four additional one-year renewals. The procurement involves replacing two four-post hydraulic lifts at the Hardy Fleet Maintenance Camp and three four-post hydraulic lifts at the Wade Road Fleet Maintenance Camp. Specific technical requirements include lifts with 30,000 lbs. capacity, 300" wheelbase capacity, 70" rise height, LED runway lighting, and removable work steps. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for November 18, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. CST via Microsoft Teams, with attendance recommended but not mandatory. Bidders must submit proposals by December 1, 2025, before 2:00 P.M. local time in Houston, either online through Bonfire or as a hard copy. Evaluation will be based on the "LOWEST AND BEST OFFER" in accordance with Texas state laws, with Harris County reserving the right to award to multiple offerors or reject any bids.

The county encourages participation from minority- and woman-owned businesses (M/WBEs) and expects vendors to make good faith efforts to meet contract diversity goals. Subcontractors must be pre-approved and comply with HUB/MWBE and Section 3 program certifications. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Automobile Liability, with minimum individual coverage limits of $1,000,000. Pricing will be structured on a dealer's cost-plus-percentage basis, with specific restrictions on price increases. The contract includes extensive warranty terms, covering steel components for five years, hydraulic components for three years, and electrical components for two years. Contractors must provide detailed documentation, including a Subcontractor Listing Form, Tax Residence Certification, and comply with various legal and ethical standards. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the comprehensive specifications and multiple lift replacements suggest a significant investment in fleet maintenance infrastructure.
